About Xenical

The Xenical weight loss program doesn't involve a complicated diet. It is a reduced calorie, low fat diet, the same one recommended by the American Heart Association for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

How to take Xenical
The recommended dose is one 120-mg capsule by mouth with liquid at each main meal that contains fat. You should take Xenical up to three times a day in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet. When you take XENICAL, you should eat a well balanced meal containing no more than approximately 30% of calories from fat. Your daily intake of fat, carbohydrates and protein should be evenly divided over three main meals. Xenical may be taken during meals or up to 1 hour after.
Xenical Side Effects
Because Xenical works by blocking the absorption of dietary fat, it is likely that you will experience some changes in bowel habits. These bowel changes are a natural effect of blocking the fat from being absorbed. They generally occur during the first weeks of treatment; however, for some people they may continue for 6 months or longer while on Xenical. These changes may include gas with oily discharge, an increased number of bowel movements, an urgent need to have them, and an inability to control them, particularly after meals containing higher amounts of fat than are recommended.
Contraindications
Xenical shouldn't be taken if you are pregnant, nursing, have food absorption problems or reduced bile flow. If you are taking cyclosporine, speak to your doctor before taking Xenical. Xenical reduces the absorption of vitamins, therefore, a daily multivitamin supplement is recommended.
